Dry eyes: Tesla's Musk says he shed no tears in interview

Following the comments, Musk tweeted his unfounded "pedo" claim, and doubled down in another tweet: "Bet ya a signed dollar it's true".

Vernon Unsworth, the British cave explorer who was labelled a paedophile by Elon Musk after assisting in the rescue of twelve children trapped in a Thai cave, appears to have begun legal action against the Tesla CEO. However, earlier this week, Musk appeared to double-down on his pedophilia themed attacks, tweeting, "You don't think it's odd [Unsworth] hasn't sued me?" That's all he's told me.

Lawyers have warned the tweet may have broken a law that bans public companies from announcing plans to buy or sell securities if executives do not intend or do not have the means to complete the deal, or if they are trying to manipulate the stock price. My son is in London on business at the moment but...

Mr Unsworth, who lives in Thailand and had experience of the caves where the boys became stuck, said Mr Musk could "stick his submarine where it hurts".

But diver Vernon Unsworth, a key player in the rescue, called Mr Musk's attempted involvement a "PR stunt", and said his vessel "had absolutely no chance of working", according to CNN.

"I am in the process of preparing a civil complaint for libel against you", the note reads. Musk later apologised to Unsworth and deleted the tweet.

US Warns Russia, Syria Against Chemical Weapons Use
According to him, Damascus condemned the use of chemical weapons no matter the circumstances and considered it to be immoral. It has been hit by a wave of air strikes and shelling this month in a possible prelude to a full-scale government offensive.

"As this well-written article suggests, my words were spoken in anger after Mr Unsworth said several untruths and suggested I engage in a sexual act with the mini-sub, which had been built as an act of kindness and according to specifications from the dive team leader", he tweeted.

He said that he would consider taking legal action against Musk, saying: "It's not finished".

Wood's letter concludes by inviting Musk or his lawyers to reach out to explore the possibility of a public apology and settlement to potentially avoid litigation. It's unclear whether Musk missed the letter or ignored it.

Rather than responding to a media inquiry on the possible libel suit, Musk lashed out at BuzzFeed News when the outlet asked for comment. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is known for his innovation, but it's hard to tell if he will embrace blockchain technology anytime soon.

Some of Musk's predictions have been way off. Musk said during a May 2016 earnings call that, during the second half of 2017, he expected Tesla would produce between 100,000 and 200,000 Model 3 sedans - the lower-priced auto that's pivotal to the company generating profit.
